Barreiro has Mase and Nanne on regularly and they talk a lot about Gopher football and hockey during those seasons.in my experience, PA (like some other Twin Cities radio and podcast personalities) just does not have a lot of interest in Gopher Sports. their level of knowledge about the Gophers is rudimentary - but they can discuss a 3rd-string Cornerback on the Vikings for a half-hour without taking a breath.
the only time they really notice the Gophers - in any sport - is if the team is doing really well - or is really struggling. (and that's when Mackey & Judd, Barreiro, etc really love to pile on.)
If I want actual information about the Gophers, I go to the Gopher Gridiron Podcast, Locked on Golden Gophers, and the Pair and a Spare Podcast in season.

With what PJ Fleck has done for the program, I think the local media are reporting more positive news.
The last so-called big negative scoop by Liz Collins (wife of former Minneapolis Police Federation President) of WCCO blew up when many former and current players come to the defense of PJ Fleck.
